I have set up a dns server, and I'm now trying to load sendmail on that machine to handle the incoming and outgoing mail for my domain... I'm only interested in spooling the mail so it can be accessed via pop3 or imap and for some reason this is not working I'm sure I have sendmail set up wrong but I'm not sure how if I do... when I try to send a message to myself through the server using a hotmail account I get this error.
